Quote - > Quote - Ummm now after all of that I have a few questions, and since this thread is still user friendly I though I may ask a few questions, Autofit, this is one of the main things that I need to work when I do purchase my Genesis goodies.  I've heard mixed feelings on how it works, some say clothes carry over smoothly and others say the program does not work well on all clothes.  Is there anyone looking into this, I see you have posted that the Gen 3 figures are in the works for autofit, unless that was wishful thinking on my part, and I would like to think that by then autofit will work smoothly on the G4 outfits as well as the G3 ones.  Because I would give anything to be able to use all of my Gen 3 content on a figure that I can morph into having hooves for feet.....

Well... I have good news for you.

  1. We are indeed working on Gen 3. We have already released David 3.  A3, M3, and V3 are half finished.

  2. We are doing R&D on how to make the fitting better, we recently updated the autofit clones and they work better now and we are looking into other options to give you flexability on how the fit is adjusted. 

  3. Our Engineers prioritize development in three week segments. In the current segment they are looking at how they can improve the fitting of shoes, and how to carry over bones and morphs in the the process

  4. We are we are going to be doing hooves at some point. With Geografting this should be easy

 

If the above is a stupid question, I apologize, I don't know much about the technical stuff and I haven't yet had the chance to use autofit for myself, just going by posts I have seen by those who have.

 

A new equine on the way, call me excited to hear that.  YAY!

Well we are committed to the idea. It hasnt been put into the pipeline yet. I am guessing Q2 2012... but that is just an informed guess at this stage.

 

Also, I thank you for coming on here, braving the storm so to speak, so that those of us who want to have our voice heard without having to shout above the uproar just to be acknowledged have that chance.

My pleasure, its great to talk nicely with Y'all (yeah, im from Tennessee... wanna make sumthin of it? LOL )

 

Thank you, and that is great news indeed.  :)  When everything comes together for Genesis I think it's going to be a real fun model to work with.  I've played with the base already and gotta admit that I enjoy how it feels like you are working with an actual clay model that you can sculpt, so to hear that the possibility of using older generation clothes and shoes on it is coming is a relief and a joy all in it's own.

That along with the Generation X add on that allows for M4 morphs to be transferred to the figure I will be all set.

 

As for the horse, I would love to see it as versatile and flexible as Genesis.  Sure a horse that can be morphed into different breeds is ideal, but also to see it capable of being morphed into a day old foal, a weanling, or to have the look of a yearling would be awesome as well as seeing what mutation/creature hybrids we could see come out of the model.    Just a suggestion ;)

 

I really do thank you for the answers Randy, looks like my worries were for nothing and I have a lot to anticipate for when I upgrade. :)
